Ali Abbas Zafar cancels the London schedule of Bharat for this reason

Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra will soon be reuniting on the big screen for Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bharat. The film will also star Disha Patani, who reportedly will be romancing the younger Salman in the film. Bharat is one of its kind project for Salman because the film will feature the actor from the age of 18 till 70. Bharat is an official remake of the 2014 Korean film, Ode To My Father.

Speaking about the film, a source informed a daily that earlier a London schedule was planned for Bharat in the end of July. But now director Ali Abbas Zafar has cancelled the schedule and the team won’t be shooting in the European countries. The change was made post Salman Khan was convicted in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case and currently he is out on bail. The source said, “There is a fair chance that Salman will not be allowed to enter the UK given his conviction in the case. He is currently out on bail and has been permitted to perform in the US because the concerts had been announced beforehand. Bharat was to kick off in London, followed by stints in Spain, Poland and Portugal. But, it will be difficult for Salman to procure permission to shoot in any of the European countries for extended period of time. As a result, Zafar as only briefed the team about the first schedule that will be held in Punjab.”

The source also informs that makers may consider Abu Dhabi as an option for some sequences of Bharat. It said, “Canada is another option. However, with the current terms of his conviction, Salman can't shoot a straight 45-day schedule outside India. Even if the courts allow it, it may draw unnecessary attention from people. The team has decided it's best to avoid shooting overseas.”

The final decision will be made by the actor once he’s back from the Da-Bangg tour.
